Latest Podcast Episodes

The Doctor has a very limited first date repetoire: watching the destruction of Earth with weird aliens, visiting a far-future traffic jam full of weird aliens, seeing an entire marketing department being slaughtered by weird aliens, and stopping a gentle space whale from being endlessly tortured by English people. And his first date with Clara is no exception: hiring a space moped from a weird alien called Dor’een and visiting The Rings of Akhaten.

Notes and links

It’s in her essay on The Bells of Saint John that El Sandifer says that the second part of Series 7 “is an extended exercise in not fucking up too badly that is, in everyone’s eyes, undermined by fucking up at least once, though opinions differ on precisely where.”

The Rings of Akhaten came ninth last in Doctor Who Magazine’s First Fifty Years poll in 2014. (Yes, that’s number 233, as Peter happened to remember with perfect accuracy.) You can find the rest of the results here. Time and the Rani came third last, so, you know.

Emilia Jones, who played Merry in this episode, is 20 years old now, of course. In 2021, she starred in a film called CODA, in which she played Marlee Matlin’s daughter. It won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2022.

Yes, a before-they-were-famous Rock “the Dwayne” Johnson did feature in an episode of Star Trek: Voyager called Tsunkatse, in which he is beaten up by Jeri Ryan’s Seven of Nine. Here is Johnson admitting to this on Twitter (complete with video evidence), and here is Jeri Ryan’s reply.

Here’s Big Finish announcing the casting of Lauren Cornelius as Dodo Chaplet in the First Doctor Adventures. The press release is curiously reticent about what accent Lauren is intending to use.

Good morning fabulous folks, and welcome to another tippety-top instalment of Stace & Barry In The Morning!

This fortnight, Stacey's reaction to aliens is a firm Nope, Barry is all in for new Umbrella Academy, and the pair do some (slightly unnecessary) bigging up of John Williams.

All this, plus a trip to Barry's Book Corner. Pop the kettle on and enjoy!

Dougie Camfields last story and it gets Victoria and Ross talking. Doctor Who's version of the The Thing, one of Ross' favorite movies.  The conversation moves from masterful direction, to perfect casting,  to fake snow, dodgy beards (Not Ross's his pretty good), and to Agatha Christe (Got to love GMW tangent). They hope you enjoy the ride.
